Mammoth

M is for Mammoth

The Mammoth were a group of prehistoric pachyderms that lived 5 million years ago and survived until 1,000 years after the great pyramids were built.

With 10 different species, and being present on all major continents, they were something like the elephant equivalent of Mr. Worldwide.
